Lyrics

[00:16.85]My heart is a muscle and it pumps blood
[00:20.59]Like a big old black steam train
[00:25.13]My veins are the tracks
[00:27.07]And the city is my brain
[00:33.47]My stomach is the ocean, and it swallows up the sun
[00:37.45]At the end of a summer's day
[00:41.73]My breath's like a breeze
[00:43.85]It blows all those storm clouds away
[00:50.04]Ah
[00:54.20]Ah
[00:58.46]Ah
[01:02.47]Ah, ah-ha...
[01:07.36]
[01:23.11]My head is the city, and it houses all the thoughts and secrets that I have
[01:31.28]And the mayor of the city says the city sins ain't half bad
[01:39.65]My arms could be weapons or instruments of love
[01:47.91]My legs are skyscrapers, they tower above you
[01:56.23]Ah
[02:00.41]Ah, yeah
[02:03.77]Ah
[02:05.80]
[02:08.99]Ah-ha, ha, ha, ha
[02:46.39]Heart is a muscle, it pumps blood
[02:49.69]Like a big old black steam train
[02:54.32]My veins are the tracks
[02:56.23]And the city is my brain
[03:02.58]My stomach is the ocean and it swallows up the sun
[03:06.85]At the end of a summer's day
[03:10.84]My breath's like a breeze, it blows
[03:14.50]All those storm clouds away
[03:19.59]
[03:52.09]I could be your whole world
[04:00.42]I could be your whole world
[04:08.78]I could be your whole world
[04:16.85]I could be your whole world
[04:58.53]
